- Automatic feeding
Store material selectively. Use storage bays better.
WÖHWA automatic storage bay feeding routes material digitally to the appropriate destination bay and provides clear visibility of fill levels, storage capacity and feeding operations.
Select the destination bay
The operator specifies which bay or material area is to be fed. The control system then routes the material flow to the selected destination bay.
Control conveying routes automatically
Belt conveyors, transverse conveyors, discharge points or travel drives are controlled to suit the feeding order. Material reaches the correct storage position in a controlled manner.
Capture fill levels
Storage bay levels can be captured and displayed digitally, showing available capacity and which bay can be fed next.
Use storage volume more effectively
The control system can take available space within the bay into account and select the next feeding position accordingly. This makes better use of the available bay volume.
Give drivers clear instructions
Text displays, colours or traffic light logic guide the driver at the tipping point. This reduces radio coordination and provides clear unloading workflows.
Document feeding operations
Feeding operations, materials, quantities, times and notifications can be logged for full traceability. This provides transparency for operation, scheduling and analysis.
Single-start, continuous-start and material-change modes support different operating sequences. Follow-up orders can be scheduled in advance and taken over automatically after completion.
Levels can be measured for each bay and, in complex plants, assessed for individual positions within a bay. This shows where storage capacity is still available.
Start-up warnings, emergency stops, permissives and status monitoring support controlled plant operation and safeguard automated feeding sequences.
Belt scales can capture actual quantities and make them available for logging, analysis and process control.
Depending on the plant, main and mobile operator interfaces, notification systems, user management, logging, CSV export and remote maintenance can be integrated.
Use storage bays better and feed more efficiently
Material is conveyed selectively to the required bay or storage area, creating a clearly controlled material flow from the unloading point to the destination bay.
Level data and feeding strategies help use storage bays more evenly and fully.
The operator selects the destination bay, and the plant handles positioning, start logic and sequence control.
Text displays, colours and traffic light logic guide the driver at the tipping point. This reduces radio communication and operating errors.
Storage bay levels can be displayed digitally, for example by bay, material, fill level or available capacity.
Feeding operations, materials, quantities, times and notifications are documented for full traceability.
